Comparison
What are the benefits of wiki.gg compared to other platforms?
The platform as a whole has non-intrusive ads that don't interrupt your reader experience. While other platforms rely on ads that sell your data to Facebook or promote adult related content, the ads that wiki.gg does give you are driven by Freedom Games' platform, which publishes video game titles, or by video game publishers/developers that are partnered with wiki.gg. Compared to other platforms that restrict your wiki customizability to favor ad space, the wiki.gg platform offers your wiki a wide range of customizability with CSS/JS as seen on the ARK Wiki and Terraria Wiki, with custom themes for both readers and editors to choose from.
wiki.gg offers you flexibility, responsiveness, and allows you to give your wiki a unique feel and experience.
